This is a message from a father who's wife's birthday was yesterday. They have 6 kids, 2 daughter in-laws, and one grand baby. Each with very different schedules. The youngest of which is 12. The dad took her shopping then out to a bite to eat, they spent the whole day together. They hadn't spent a whole day alone in 26 years. At the end of the day the kids put together a surprise birthday for their mom. And after they surprised her they each handed her a rose stating the thing they loved most about her.
This is the message from the father the next day: *names in the message have been changed* ENJOY!
Dear Patrick Kids,
Yesterday, your mothers birthday was one of the most memorable days of my life. You all worked together to clear the day so I could shower your mother with surprises of love.
Your mother has sacrificed over 25 years to enable each of you to become the GREAT individuals you are. She's done this with no raise, promotion, award, degree, or any expectation other than your love and tenderness.
Yesterday was a great priceless gift of eternal love; I know she will ALWAYS remember it.
I'll remember it as the day you gave me as well, for I had the honor of spending the entire day with her. We laughed, reflected on each of you kids, and dreamed of a future were we would have many more days spending them like yesterday.
Thank you Michael, Brittany, James, Scott, Emma, Joseph, Annette, Mary, and Bridgette for an amazing day. I love all of you so much. xo :-)
This is what I call love.
